Liverpool Wavertree

I strongly believe that rejoining the European Union would be one of the best decisions the UK could make, not just for our economy, but for the future of our children and communities like Liverpool. As a parent of two children aged 14 and 17, I want them to grow up with opportunities that extend beyond the UK's borders. EU membership would give them the freedom to live, study and work across 27 countries, opening doors to education, careers and experiences that should be available to the next generation. I want them to have choices, ambition and the freedom to build their futures wherever their talents take them. We are a historic port city with strong European connections, a talented workforce and huge potential. Closer ties with the EU could attract investment, create jobs, strengthen local businesses, improve trade and support regeneration. Greater cooperation could also help reduce economic pressures, improve energy security and potentially bring down the cost of everyday goods. I want a Britain that looks outward rather than inward, Rejoining isn't about returning to the past; it's about giving our children and cities like Liverpool a better future.
